not sure why anyone would want to run with an egpu. you are paying full price for the gpu plus a few hundred on top for the egpu enclosure for what will come way too short of the gpu's full capabilities to be worth it. just built a damn desktop pc. laptops were never a great way to play aaa games anyways. for all the money spent on a laptop that can game on its own anyways, a gpu and an external gpu, someone could build a pretty beastly desktop. i just see no scenario where this is the optimal setup.

Could someone please explain why the external RTX 3080 isn't performing very well?
Is it because it's using thunderbolt 3 not 4?
I'm looking to get myself set up with jewellery CAD/gaming laptop. The jewellery CAD programs aren't to taxing, only when photo rendering the finished piece.
I really want something with a built in RTX 3070 that I can upgrade in the future with an external GPU like a RTX 3080.
My quest continues: p: (

Hey, finally a relief to find this video. I have AW51MD503AU - Alienware Area 51m R2. Right now, I have 2080 super; it has been a year since I got it. i game as well as use archi software. I am planning on getting a 38' Alienware monitor AW3821WD. For better gaming performance in 3840 x 1600 resolution, thinking about getting 3090. Will NVIDIA 3090 with RAZER CORE X CHROMA, EXTERNAL GRAPHICS ENCLOSURE do the job?

Finally this video! Thanks for making it. I'm curious, if it were to be a lower resolution; let's say 1080p or 1440p resolution at max, the frame rate of the 3080 should in theory be a significant boost in comparison of the 2070 Max q, or it would give the same performance?
The new Asus Flow looks to be the best way to use external GPU's soo it would certainly be interesting!

Have you thought about trying an 11th-gen Intel laptop? There's been verifiable performance improvements from 10th-gen to 11th-gen eGPU performance due to multiple reasons, the two most important being that the Thunderbolt controller is located on the CPU die and that Thunderbolt 4 has higher minimum requirements.

Anyone have any thoughts on how well this would work on a microtower pc? I enjoy the idea of being able to upgrade gpu's. should I just bite the bullet and rebuild half of my system (case, power supply, cooling, and gpu) or opt out for this as space is not an issue for me.

Two things:
(1) I saw in a previous video you used a super long TB3 cable. That kills performance thanks to latency and signal loss.
(2) Please test Radeon vs Nvidia on an eGPU. I'd like to see which manufacturer's video cards work better

How did you get the laptop video signal onto the Thunderbolt output port? Doesn-t the laptop need specific configuration to send raw data that normally goes to the built-in video card to the Thunderbolt port to be processed by the eGPU?

Disabling the laptop GPU allocates more power to the CPU which should help achieve more frame rates. I suggest running games at 1080p or 1440p because the bottleneck is too much for 4k unless you use DLSS at low to medium settings.

Would it make sense to put a 3080 inside an egpu and then connect that to let-s say a razer blade 17 with 3070 + external monitor? Like would I see better performance than just playing on the monitor alone?
